Structs such as PgInterval do not derive serde::Serialize/serde::Deserialize

What do you want to add to diesel?

Add serde as an optional feature-gated crate and serde::Serialize and serde::Deserialize optional derives to all structs such as PgInterval so that table structs which use them can in turn be serialized via derive.

Thanks for writing this proposal.

I personally do consider the Pg* value types as mostly internal in so far that the designed use-case for them is to be used as intermediate deserialization result. You should likely prefer using types like chrono::Duration in your public API instead.

I'm still interested in hearing a use-case for this.
